His labs that check for infection are continuing to trend back to normal range. They are gradually switching his medications from IV form to oral, which is also good news since he will go home on a few. Yesterday, the doctor mentioned going home for the first time! He tested negative for rhinovirus last Monday, and they checked again today--they have to get two negatives before he is considered virus-free. We haven't gotten the results back yet, but once we do, they'll move him to a new sanitized room, the nurses no longer have to wear gowns and masks in his room, and he can move to the general pediatric floor!
All the steristrips are off Sam's incision and the spots where the drainage tubes were, and he looks so good!
In other news, we went to the Perot Museum of Nature and Science yesterday. It is so cool for kids and adults! Some of the exhibits were more appropriate for elementary-aged kids, but the girls loved it anyway.
They got to play on the leap frogs outside.
They played on the outdoor instruments.
And they watched their first 3D movie--neither one cared for keeping the glasses on and were more interested in the folding chairs and eating popcorn.
When they left yesterday, both girls asked to go home. It broke my heart! Hopefully that was the last time we have to say goodbye.
Today, Stephen and I went to Pluckers to watch the A&M bowl game.
We're hoping and praying for continued steady progress for our precious little guy!
